Hi everyone.  We are now 5 days into the new year.  I am excited about this year.  In spite of everything, I think it is going to be a good one.  Happy 2010 🙂

Sunday night I started running a fever and had to come to the ER.  My white blood cell count is still really low so I can’t fight off an infection.  They ran a bunch of tests, started IV antibiotics and admitted me here to the 7th floor.  I am in room 7120.  I hope to go home tomorrow but I could be here longer.  They have not found any infection but I feel like it was my sinuses.  I had alot of pain in my face, like my upper jaw, teeth, cheeks, and some pressure behind my eyes.  They did a CT of my head, and that came back normal too.  Anyway, the fever is gone and so is the pain.  I am feeling alot better and of course…WANT TO GO HOME.

This is day 20, and they usually let me go home at day 21 if all is well.  Keep your fingers crossed.  Short of having a donor we will come back  to Gainesville for more Chemo in about a week.  We don’t have the schedule yet.  I am really looking forward to seeing my kids and having some time at home.

Keep up the prayers to our heavenly Father,

love Karen
